EEGAH!! & TABONGA! AT THE MOVIES 2 / The Early Sixties

Welcome back! Here are some more cool movies Eegah!! and I got to see together some fifty years ago, so, enjoy the ride...

BATTLE BEYOND THE SUN was pretty weird for us, the Euro looking dudes were odd and the totally insane monsters were like, WTF! One thing I remember vividly was the name patch they put over the Russian symbols on the spaceship moved around a bit, making it a little hokey.

Like father, like son!!.. William Castle was one out there guy, he kept us entertained, that's for sure. Here's a strange little coincidence.. Eegah!! informed me last night that he'd finally found his Punishment Poll after looking for it for years and I've included the movie in my post today.

BLACK SABBATH was another movie we liked, although Boris was one terrifying vampire, we liked the lead in segment with the dead lady on the bed the best!

Here's a wild little comedy we saw, script was written by Jonathan Haze (real last name is Hayes). One thing that was appealing to us were the ample packages of Dr. Tanga and Professor Puna. We liked this segment where the girls scan the minds of our moronic heroes.

But, another WTF! moment. These male space creatures have got to be one of the most god awful monster designs in Hollywood history... EVER!!!

Dick Miller is one of our all time favorite actors, watch him give his speech at the UN in WAR OF THE SATELLITES, the guy could act!! He is so perfect as Walter Paisley and makes this one a ton of fun to watch. Even getting to see this model's bare back was really exciting for us! Be back tomorrow as we continue down the old bloody Halloween Countdown trail!

Are these the best of Les Baxter's horror-movie scores? I rented a few Bava movies on Amazon's streaming service last week and even though I'd seen them a while back, I couldn't remember Baxter's contribution; of course, they all had the restored Italian soundtrack. Not a complaint--still great stuff--but where is all the Baxter horror buried?

DWRAYGER DUNGEON PRESENTS: The Monster Movie Music Manifesto

Horror, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Spy, Super-Hero, JD, Thriller and Noir films, that's what we like, and a recurring theme in a lot of those kinds of movies has always been music! There were rockin' clubs and cafes with cool jukeboxes, teen poolside parties with local bands, sometimes it was a seedy bar with a sleazy torch singer, a beatnik coffeehouse, maybe dancing somewhere in outer space, or some weird tribal ceremony on a cool secluded island with giant monsters running around, and you could count on it that a lot of the time there was smoking and drinking going on. It was a fun time!! A lot of movies also had quirky, swingin', jazzy or rockin' themes or credits, or maybe just some wild Psychotronic elements! We started with the music from 50's & 60's Monster Movies, but we later morphed into the new, bigger and better, Rock and Soul, 70's brevity, 80's maybes, 1940's Gorilla and Bela site from Hell! So, sit down, and take a load off, pour yourself a cool one, and order up something hot and greasy, because we have a lot of tasty tidbits on the menu, way outside the realm of good taste! If any of the postings just happen to step on anybody's toes, let us know & we will remove them immediately, if not sooner!! We recognize all formal copyrights, and do this solely to support and promote the films featured! This forum is only being presented in a critical and scholarly critique, and should not be construed as anything else. It's just all for Fun & Historical Education in an effort to keep bad taste alive forever!!! If the words and pictures pique your interest, then please go out & buy, or rent the movies, wherever you can find them! All soundclips are approximately two minutes long, just enough to give you a feel for the movie! When we post a sound clip, it will only stay up 30 days or less!
